How do I enable mbstring extension on PHP 5, Fedora server

Tags:

mbstring

I need to add the mbstring extension to an install of PHP 5.2.6 on Apache/2.2.11 (Fedora). We have dynamic extensions enabled so I really think all I need is the .so file and .ini files, correct? Can I simply drop these files in and make it work or do I have to recompile PHP? If it's simply upload and go, where can I get the files I need?

You can check it through phpinfo(). Search for the string "mbstring" in phpinfo page. If it is present means then mbstring is enabled or it is disabled.

Try yum install php-mbstring. You may then need to restart apache, e.g. /sbin/service httpd restart.

You can also use yum info "php-*" to find a list of other php packages available.
